In a recent interview with Vogue, Margot Robbie, the talented actress and producer of the highly anticipated film “Barbie,” showered Gal Gadot with compliments, admiring her both for her beauty and vibrant personality. Robbie revealed that both she and the esteemed director Greta Gerwig had reached a unanimous decision to cast Gadot as the lead in the film. However, much to their disappointment, scheduling conflicts, including Gadot’s commitment to the soon-to-be-released “Snow White” in March 2024, led her to decline the offer. Robbie emphasized the team’s fascination with Gadot’s stunning appearance and the vivacious energy reminiscent of Barbie, all while lauding her for her kind and genuine nature. It’s worth noting that back in 2016, Sony had initially announced comedian Amy Schumer as Barbie’s lead, but she had to step down from the project a year later due to conflicting commitments.
According to a report from the Hollywood Reporter, Margot Robbie has agreed to play the role of Barbie in a movie set to be released on July 21. Interestingly, the actress admitted that she was not a fan of Barbie dolls during her childhood. She explained, “Playing with dolls was never something that interested me. The idea of being Barbie never crossed my mind until I became involved in this project.” When asked about the overly sexualized image of the Barbie doll, Robbie gave a thought-provoking response. She said, “Barbie is a plastic toy that doesn’t have any organs. If it doesn’t have organs, it certainly doesn’t have genitalia. People shouldn’t project their own sexual desires onto a toy like that.” The movie will also star popular actors such as Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey, Issa Rae, Dua Lipa, and John Cena, among others, alongside Robbie.
Warner Bros recently unveiled not just one, but two exciting trailers for the highly-anticipated Barbie film, starring the talented Margot Robbie. The first glimpse of the movie showcases a stunning image of Barbie in her iconic striped swimsuit, paying homage to the classic Mattel doll that became a cultural phenomenon back in 1959. The second trailer delves deeper into the captivating world of Barbie and introduces her dashing partner Ken, portrayed by the charismatic Ryan Gosling.
It’s worth noting that Margot Robbie hails from the picturesque town of Dalby in Queensland, Australia. She first gained recognition for her role in the popular television series Neighbors, which paved the way for her flourishing career in Hollywood. With impressive performances in notable films like The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Robbie has solidified her position as a sought-after actress. Her exceptional talent garnered her three Golden Globe nominations and two Oscar nominations, making her a force to be reckoned with in the industry
